Combined, they represent $11.1 million in lobbying activity. Outside groups (like Super PACs) have spent money on their races: $325 spent supporting them. This spending is independent of their campaign.

Overall, they have a typical financial footprint for a representative. The biggest factors are former staff becoming lobbyists and lobbying activity around their committee topics.
